[Verse 1]
        G
Another forest metaphor
               Eb
You've heard a million before
    B          G/D
The trees know everything, I tried a wedding ring
             Cm
But you just cringed and said, "What for?"
 
            G
And now the whole thing's turned to ash
             Eb
You tried to cover it with cash
        G
Another falling tree no one can hear but me
        Cm
Another suicidal mess
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D                                C
Landing on my doorstep, thanks a ton
             D                                     C
Oh, darling, how can I repay you for what you have done?
 
[Chorus]
             G                   Em
And then you lied to me at Whakanewha
        Cm
And you sealed it with a kiss
            G                          Em
I wanted to live with you, but, fuckin'-a, fuck you
          A                     C
No one on Earth could live like this
 
D    Cm
 
[Verse 2]
        G
Another clear-cut load of crap
           Eb
A few more corpses in the sack
             G
You'll get away with it, it's just the same old script
              Cm
This world is shaped to have your back
 
               G
You said, "I'm sorry," then you ran
             Eb
And went and did it all again
           G
I'm such a fool, I know
 
Street smart but gullible
          Cm
I see the good in everything
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
   D
A pound of flax, a pound of steel
  C
I may be dumb, but I can feel
  G                  F                C
I wonder when you'll realize what you had
   D
A frightened bird, a crystal ball
   C
So sad, you could've had it all
        G                 F                C
But you hate yourself too much to want all that
      D                            C
I had so much hope for your broken heart
           D                                   C
But you've made your choice, and you chose the dark
 
[Chorus]
            G                Em
And so I'll bury you at Whakanewha
           Cm
And have a party with my friends
               G                    Em
I'll miss you terribly, but, fuckin'-a, fuck me
            A               C
It feels so good to love again
            G                 Em
And so I'll bury you at Whakanewha
           Cm
And have a party with my friends
               G                     Em
I'll miss you terribly, but, fuckin'-a, fuck me
            A              C
It feels so good to love again
